OracleTSC: Oracle-Informed Reward Hurdle and Uncertainty Regularization for Traffic Signal Control

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.08516v1 Announce Type: new Transparent decision-making is essential for traffic signal control (TSC) systems to earn public trust. However, traditional reinforcement learning-based TSC methods function as black boxes with limited interpretability. Although large language models (LLMs) can provide natural language reasoning, reinforcement finetuning for TSC remains unstable because feedback is sparse and delayed, while most actions produce only marginal changes in congestion metrics. We
